Valentine's Day party!

This year, we threw a Valentine's day party for all our friends! Keshav and I had a blast putting together all the activities and decorations!

We wanted to make a whole sweet shop with play dough!  So we started off by making some yummy chocolate play dough!  We just added cocoa powder to our regular play dough recipe to make a delicious smelling dough!  We even made little chocolate candies to put in our candy box and some lollipops too!


We made some strawberry play dough as well and then set up a whole play dough sweet shop complete with chocolates, lollipops, cupcakes, and fudge!

dough sweet shop fun!










Our next task was making Valentine's Day cards for all his friends!  We set up mailboxes for each friend that was coming, so everyone could exchange Valentine's for each other and take home their mailbox full of sweet cards from everyone!  Keshav made his cards using heart stampers made from potatoes and a toilet paper roll that he dipped in paint and printed on the paper!


We set up a couple of other play stations for the kids as well.  We had a big tub full of pink water beads with duckies and scoopers to do some sensory play!  We also had a beading station where the kids could sit down and put Valentine's themed beads on pipe cleaners to make a bracelet!

Sebastian was definitely into
the water beads!

Even though Vidya napped for part of the party, she also got in on some of the fun!

Finally, there were some yummy Valentine's day treats!  We had a wonderful time celebrating with all of our great friends!
